CH 48.2

The empty cart was easy after all, there was only a large bag of pastries that Yan Shi went out to buy in the morning, and a few new snacks in the town in the bamboo basket.

Coming out of the alley, they went to Changxing Street, and they had to pass by Yang's Tavern when they went back. Shen Xuanqing stopped at the door after walking for a while, and went in to say goodbye to Yang Xian.

When Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing walked to the oil shop on Changxing Street, smelling the aroma of sesame oil, Shen Xuanqing stopped again to buy, they came out without a pot, and the bamboo tube was to hold water for drinking on the road. They bought some clay pots together, and kept some at home when they went back, and brought some to the mountain.

It wasn’t that they didn't have an oil shop, but since they passed here and the oil smelled really good, it was better to buy it.

Pedestrians were in a hurry, and they were among them.

Lu Gu followed Shen Xuanqing on the return road, and they didn’t come back until the setting sun was shining, and it was dusk. As soon as they came back, Wei Lanxiang made a fuss about serving food for the two of them, and they must be hungry after walking all this way.

Shen Xuanqing nodded and said yes, and briefly told her about the people and things he saw in the past. When she heard that Ni’er was chubby and cute, Wei Lanxiang said nothing, but she also wanted to hug her grandson and granddaughter in her heart.

The days were getting better now, not to mention the second child, the eldest daughter-in-law should also have a baby, but this kind of thing couldn't be rushed even if it was urgent, she could only say something to the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law in private.

His legs were tired from the journey, and Lu Gu was lying on the bed after washing at night. Speaking of which, he had only been in the Shen's house for a few months, and he stayed outside for the night last night.

He looked at the top of the bed curtain and thought about something on his mind. For a while, he thought of the word "go home", and for a while it was something else, and it was difficult to fall asleep in a short time.

The lights in the room hadn't been turned off yet, and Shen Xuanqing poured the foot washing water outside and came back.

Lu Gu was already lying down, seeing him coming in now, he sat up with his arms propped up, hesitantly looked at the man beside the bed who wanted to blow the lamp.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing didn't turn off the lights, and asked: "What's the matter?"

Lu Gu who was worried didn’t dare to look up, lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to the mountain tomorrow?"

"Do you want to go or not?" Shen Xuanqing asked him patiently.

His eyes were moist and he said: "There is also new rice. This year we have harvested a lot of new rice and steamed it to eat. It’s very delicious. I ate several bowls, and Erqing bring it for you when we come."

The offerings were made, and the burnings were finished. Lu Gu wiped away his tears and was about to kowtow when Shen Xuanqing spoke.
